5. Jian’s Market - you just have to stop by this place on the way to your bus or street car. Stopping to smell the roses is not a cliche here, it’s an imperative. When the weather’s nice the flowers are arranged in a eye-catching display while inside the heady scent of fresh flowers and fruit give you a great excuse to miss the bus.
4. Murals - check out the murals on the side of the local restaurants, hardware store and funeral home.
3. Daisy Mart- just because the shop owner seems to be one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. A smile, a wave, a hello everyday as I walk to the streetcar. I just always thought this sort of neighborhood friendly shopkeeper character have been out of style since the days of the black & white motion picture.
2. Lake Ontario- just another great reason to miss the streetcar in the morning. Leave a few moments early just so you can check out the morning sun shimmering orange and yellow on the water. The view of the city from Humber Bay park is second to none.
1. Birds and Beans - a cozy little coffeehouse that offers fairly traded and ecologically sound coffees. Also sponsor many local events and happenings in the community
